24.01.2022 Important update regarding COVID-19 In accordance with government recommendations, from today I will now be wearing a mask throughout your treatment. I will also be temperature checking on arrival.... Please ensure that you sanitize your hands before your appointment, and if you feel comfortable to do so, you are also encouraged to bring along a mask. Lets keep doing our part.

23.01.2022 No mask. No treatment.

21.01.2022 Hi everyone, Ive had a few enquiries of late about pregnancy massage. I would just like to communicate that unfortunately at this point in time, I do not offer pregnancy massage.... My facilities are not correctly set up for a comfortable and safe treatment and my qualifications do not extend to prenatal care. I do apologise and I understand that it can be challenging, but for the safety and comfort of my clients and their babies, I recommend they seek a pregnancy massage specialist. Brenna

21.01.2022 While we shouldnt be at panic stations over the Coronavirus, I would just like to reiterate that it is so important to monitor any flu-like symptoms and limit contact with those who may be unwell. Symptoms include sore throat, cough, fever, fatigue and shortness of breath. If you arent 100%, please contact me prior to your appointment and we can happily reschedule when you are feeling better.... I travel a lot and touch a lot of people!! While I may not be greatly affected, I have a brand new newborn and elderly grandparents in my family that I would hate to pass anything on to. Im sure you do too. Please respect this and be mindful of your health and hygiene. The clinic will remain open unless otherwise stated. Thank you for your understanding.

21.01.2022 Q&A time! Isolation = no motivation. What do you want to know more about?... A particular injury? Health and fitness? How much chocolate Ive already consumed? Send me a message with your questions and get my brain firing again

21.01.2022 From Sunday midnight, under government laws, wearing a face covering will be compulsory outside of the home. I will be bringing in a new policy on Monday Aug 3: No mask. No treatment. Due to shortages, I will not be providing masks to clients, you MUST bring your own.... Some local stockists include Witch is Art, IGA, Donald Hardware, Caremore Pharmacy, Bevs Baubles and Donald High School, as well as some private sellers. Remember that a face covering such as scarf or bandana is also fine. Thanks again to those who have already been wearing a mask or have cancelled due to illness, I appreciate it! Please have your face covering on already before you enter the clinic and leave it on for the entirety of your treatment. Ive very lucky that I can continue to work this time around, please make my job a little easier and wear your mask. Thank you!

18.01.2022 *CLINIC UPDATE* Hi everyone, Just a quick update in regards to reopening and booking appointments.... Currently, I am still closed for business and will be until restrictions are lifted further. At this stage, I will only be reopening my Donald clinic due to health and safety implications placed on my Birchip and Minyip workplaces. Id just like to make you all aware that there still may be extended waiting times when booking an appointment once the clinic reopens. I still have a significant wait list of people who unfortunately missed out on their appointments when I had to close so suddenly. As you can appreciate, Im a one-woman show and only have a limited number of practice hours to see to everyones needs and also look after my own wellbeing. Please be respectful of this when booking your appointment. Thank you for your ongoing support and patience during these times and I hope to see you all very soon!

11.01.2022 WHAT IS CUPPING? Myofascial cupping focuses on fascia; a spider-web like connective tissue that runs continuously throughout the body from head to toe. Fascia encases muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs and vessels, keeping them in their correct position so they dont float around the body! When injured or overused, adhesions can occur between the fascia and the structures it surrounds. The tissue becomes "knotty", tight and restricted, leading to pain, reduced movement and d...ecreased organ function. Because it is a continuous chain, fascial tightness in one area of the body can cause referral pain to another site. Cupping helps to lift, stretch and separate the fascia, reducing adhesions, improving range of motion, reducing pain and trigger points, increasing flexibility and removing toxins. WHAT DOES CUPPING INVOLVE? Plastic or glass cups are vacuum sealed onto the skin, picking up the fascia to separate adhesions. Cups may be left on the affected area for targeted relief, or may be moved across the skin in multiple areas and directions for widespread benefit. Cupping does not hurt, but bruising does occur as fresh, nutrient-rich blood is delivered to the site to promote healing. This will only last a few days. *This client visited the clinic to treat her frozen shoulder and tendonitis. We added cupping to her plan for targeted relief, as well as some general relaxation. You will notice that she has more redness throughout her left shoulder region where she is experiencing her pain. This is great feedback for the therapist the more redness, the more blood flow to the area, the better the healing process.

11.01.2022 With only a week to go until Mother's Day, have you gotten her something special? Does your Mum suffer from pain or injury? Or maybe you just want to treat her to a relaxation massage? Gift vouchers are available with no expiration date and redeemable after restrictions cease.... Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mums out there!

07.01.2022 Given the recent update, I have made the decision to close The Edge Sports Therapy indefinitely to protect the health and safety of myself, my clients and all of our families. Changes will come in to effect as of today, Monday 23rd March. I will be contacting clients directly that have booked appointments over the next few weeks. These clients will have first priority to reschedule their appointments once the clinic reopens. I will therefore not be taking any more bookings d...uring this closure. Thank you for your understanding, Brenna

06.01.2022 This one was a bit tricky for me to write so bear with me, and maybe make yourself cuppa, its a bit of a thesis! I hope my story inspires you to take just a little more notice and to appreciate your amazing body! I value my health.... I thought I did! I thought I nourished my body every day, physically mentally and emotionally. I ate pretty well, exercised and had a good work-life balance. I was hardly ever sick and everything was cruising along nicely. Until it wasnt. In 2015 I was beginning to feel a bit off, really run down and fatigued, loss of appetite and just not quite right. I just passed it off as stress, having just experienced a pretty terrible time in a job. I tried to get on with things and to look forward to the next opportunity. Eventually it came and things carried on until the end of 2017. Again, unfortunately Id been through a fairly stressful time and a lot of changes had happened. And again, I passed it off as just needing a holiday and Id be right. Wrong. Keep reading https://edgesportstherapy.wordpress.com//i-value-my-health/
